The deceased suspect in the bombing of the Boston marathon, which killed three and injured more than 170, appears to have posted a video extolling an extremist religious prophecy associated with Al Qaeda to his YouTube page.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the 26 year-old brother of the second Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, had a YouTube page where he posted religious videos, including a video of Feiz Mohammad, a fundamentalist Australian Muslim preacher who rails against the evils of Harry Potter. Among those videos is one dedicated to the prophecy of the Black Banners of Khurasan which is embraced by Islamic extremists—particularly Al Qaeda. The videos posted on what appears to be Tsarnaev's YouTube page may shed light on the motivations for the attack on the Boston Marathon. The prophecy states that an invincible army will come from the region of "Khurasan," a large portion of territory in central Asia.
"This is a major hadith (reported saying of the prophet Muhammad) that jihadis use, it is essentially an end-time prophecy," says Aaron Zelin, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy "This is definitely important in Al Qaeda's ideology." In The Black Banners, former FBI agent Ali Soufan's book about his pursuit of Al Qaeda that is named after this prophecy, Soufan describes the prophecy this way:
Khurasan is a term for a historical region spanning northeastern and eastern Iran and parts of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and northwestern Pakistan. Because of the hadith, jihadists believe that this is the region from which they will inflict a major defeat against their enemies—in the Islamic version of Armageddon.
The older Tsarnaev seems to have posted the video four months ago under the username "muazseyfullah." According to Zelin, "Mu'az is usually a name," and "Sayf Allah means sword of God." Here is the video:
According to Soufan's book, "It’s not a coincidence that bin Laden made al-Qaeda’s flag black; he also regularly cited the hadith and referenced Khurasan when recruiting, motivating, and fund-raising." Soufan adds that Al Qaeda operatives he interrogated were often convinced that by joining the extremist group they were fulfilling the prophecy. Soufan states that the origin of the "black banners" hadith—and whether the prophet Muhammad ever said it—is questionable.
They will drop the muslim aspect, but if he goes down with an assault rifle in his hands then that part of the story will lead 24/7.
bozo wants this kid shot and killed, dead people do nto talk.
Then he does nto have to deal with charges, where to take him , which court if it was a court.
Bozo is probably shouting kill the sucker right now.
His immediate action is announced.
He will expand the Background Check by Executive order.
Bring on the Popcorn. Someone in Congress might actually think about turning over the rock his background is hidden under and apply daylight.
Shoot it was another darned video.../s
You’re right.
this monster communist Muslims is the enemy of Americans. so is the news media and democrat party which are one and the same
I’m sure their very disappointed that one of their sworn enemies of the ‘Right Wing’ wasn’t involved.
But on April 26, Robert Redford has a movie glorifying the WeatherUnderground’s terrorism. Some how, if the other guy is brought in alive a good liberal attorney will meld the Islamic jihad with the good ‘Progressive’ agenda and the guy will be teaching at Harvard in 22 years like Kathy Boudin.
Who’s that moron who was hoping the bombers turned out to be white Americans or some such nonsense? He doesn’t seem to have gotten his wish.

Obama soon to order armed guards at all mosques and Islamic centers in the US,. Will remind all Americans that Islam is a religion of peace and does not justify violence against anyone. Anyone who says otherwise is a hatemonger and a danger to civil society. All law enforcement will be on the lookout for any Islamophobic behavior which will not be tolerated.
Steve Emerson talking on Beck .....
9 family members living in the same apartment building
found radical Islamic literature in the apartment
found more explosives in the apartment
came in under asylum - no background checks
videos (22 so far) are “incendiary”, similar to AQ videos
not just Chechynan, but Islamic - believe in the imposition of the Caliphate
Yes Axelrod said Obama immediately thought of tax day.
If Obama had a son would he look like one of these terrorists? Did police act “stupidly”?

Great quote.
it's because we are for freedom, individual rights and small government that we are the enemy that must be eliminated ( according to democrats and Obama)
Not a very historically literate discussion.
The Abbassids arose in Korasan and in 750 overthrew the previous dynasty of caliphs, taking over the entire Muslim world except Spain. Their banner was solid black.
It seems reasonably obvious that if Mohammed made a true prophecy of black banners out of Khorasan, he was talking about the Abbassids. If he didn't, then the prophecy was likely propaganda produced by the Abbassids to justify (before or after the fact) their rebellion and conquest.
In any case, ignoring Abbassids when discussing black banners and Khorasan is just ignorant.
Yep. Once the other brother is dead, we’ll never hear about who paid their living expenses for the last year or so, where they were trained, who indoctrinated and trained them, etc. The whole thing will disappear into the memory hole.
Steve Emerson:
Videos incendiary as any open Bin Laden video
to build a bomb like this & carry it out, need more than 2 people
no one in the family called police
#1 thing being done to aid this: radical Islamics like CAIR, etc. fuel radical Islam, inhibit law enforcement & reporting on radical Islam, should not be allowed in this country, this Administration is allowing this.
